A "next generation" perspective on blogging and social networks - at work.

Welcome to a special Online Strategy Channel podcast on TotalPicture Radio from the HR Technology Conference and Expo in Chicago, with Peter Clayton reporting. Joining us are two of the most influential bloggers in HR, Laurie Ruettimann, co-founder, New Media Services, (former Punk Rock HR blogger), and now The Cynical Girl Blogger; and Kris Dunn, blogger for The HR Capitalist and Fist Full of Talent. Kris moderated a panel discussion at HR Tech - which included Laurie, Trish McFarlane, Mike Krupa, and Bryon Abramowitz - discussing the role, responsibilities, and benefits of blogging.

Kris Dunn Linkedin Bio:

Who am I? That's an easy question - I'm a VP of HR type who has led HR practices in Fortune 500s and venture capital-held startups. I work for a living, and believe that the key to great business results is to get great people, then do cool stuff to maximize their motivation, performance and effectiveness once you have them in the door. As it turns out, that's my simple definition of talent management. I believe that all forms of HR administration should be squeezed down to the smallest amount of time possible, giving you more time to do stuff that matters.

BOOM! If you like that description, you'll like me. It's that simple.

I'm also among the most transparent HR pros you can find, and here's why. I care so much about the art of HR that I've started two blogs (www.hrcapitalist.com and www.fistfuloftalent.com) with the goal of building a community I could learn from. I've been putting my thoughts down every business day for over 3 years.

That means what you see is what you get. I can't hide, and if I ever pulled the blogs down, Google would probably haunt me forever anyway.
